02x07 - Episode 7

Post by bunniefuu »

Do you think any of this actually raises
awareness or creates change?

It won't even make the 10:00 news.

Shouldn't we be doing stuff
that will make the news, then?

What if I said we could switch every
traffic light to red simultaneously

within a two-mile radius of Temple?

Can we?

Basically involves
just pulling out a few wires.

This is the foremost equestrian
medical center in the country.

Dermot?

See you later, Daniel Milton.

We're through.

Look, you're not getting out of there.
It's bombproof.

Gubby, I need a favour.

What if this guy wants a favour back?
Why put yourself in that position?

For you. It was for you.

Dad, I'm at the police station.

I think they're going
to charge me with m*rder.

Get some sleep.

Get off the road.

You were the last known person
to see Sergeant Moloney alive, Eve.

You're on camera stuffing a bin full
of his possessions and bloody towels.

Why?

Who are you protecting?

Hopes are fading
for the 20-foot bottlenose whale

trapped in the River Thames.

Out of its depth, disorientated,
and battling against the tides,

it's chances
of survival are slim.

Daniel James Milton.

- Daniel James Milton.
- Yes, that's me.

Can I see her?

Just had a note from them to say she's
still in processing,

so we'll be in touch as and when.

Eve. Eve, I'm gonna sort this out.

- Dad, please.
- I'm going to fix it. I promise you.

- Who are you?
- I'm her father.

Well, in that case, do you mind waiting?
We might have some questions for you.

I'll be back in a minute.

I come with respect to appeal
to your better nature.

And to give you fair warning
that I'm about to do something

which may have a degree
of blowback in your direction.

I need to hand myself into the police.
Over...

Over the...

dead body that you
kindly picked up for me.

Do not mention dead bodies
in front of my son.

He's at a very impressionable age.

They've arrested my daughter.

I need to get in front of this
by going to the police myself.

So what are you gonna do
when they ask to see the body?

That's the thing. That's why I'm here.
I need the body back.

Well, now I do feel misled.

Whatever happened to
coming here out of respect?

Wait here, please.

Leave.

Let's imagine, even for a minute,
that I said yes.

Why do you think that puts
your daughter in the clear?

Because they could run ballistics
from the head wound

and they could work out where the g*n
that caused it was fired from,

which would get my daughter
off the hook.

Well, that's optimistic.

With respect, it would be the proof
of what actually happened.

Sit down.

If it's entered my organisation,

it exposes my organisation to risk,

which I cannot have.

Meaning you can't have the body.

I can't blame you for trying.
I'm a father myself, after all.

It's a good job, you're useful,
Mr. Milton.

Well, how'd you get on?

We're gonna need to steal the body back.

- We?
- Yeah.

We, Daniel?

Right. A, that's a sh*t idea, and B, I
have somewhere else I need to be today.

Somewhere else to be?
Look at the situation.

I can see the situation, Daniel.

Look, sorry I'm not around
to play bloody Igor today,

but I have somewhere
I told someone I'd be.

But I need you here.
This is about, Eve.

I have somewhere else I need to be.

I can't do it without help.

Please, Lee.

An hour.
Right, you have one hour.

- All right, where are we going?
- Drive. I'll figure it out on the way.

I mean, how many horse hospitals
can there be?

Doors open.

- Hi
- Hello, again.

Lovely to have you back.
And so soon.

Not too soon for comfort, I hope.

Not at all. I'm excited to hear
you wanted to discuss.

I've had a breakthrough.
On the testing with Lancasters.

How?

How positive?

Quite. Very, in fact.

Come with me, please.

I think you two should talk.

- Go hide.
- sh*t.

Go, go, go.

What are you doing here?

Well, I'm looking for you.

So who told you I was here?

- I've spoken to Gubby.
- Yeah, I heard that.

Tell you what, we'll have
a wee tete-a-tete across there.

It's a bit Ascot Chain Saw m*ssacre
in there.

I know you're responsible
for finishing the treatment.

But what you did
was only part of it.

The main body of it was my work.
Years of my work.

I worked pretty hard, too.

Yeah, I know.

And I know what you did
saved my life.

In spite of what you think now,
I am incredibly grateful.

And so, when it comes
to the research,

I could live with sharing it.

We could work on it together.

- What about Daniel?
- Daniel and me are over.

That was finished a long time ago.

So?

What do you think?

Not a chance.

But you're not saying
the body isn't here.

I mean, it isn't, but whether it is
or not, it's not the point.

The heart of the matter is
Gubby told you no.

Just tell me.

- Have you burnt it?
- I would like to help you, Daniel.

But it'll be my ba*ls,
I'm not being clever about it, either.

Look, Gubby and I get on all right,
and he trusts me.

But it would be my actual ba*ls
fed through a mangle, like a wet gym kit.

Yes.

Now, it's not like I like
saying no to you.

But see it from
my position, will you?

FOUD BODY

Sure. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to come
down here and lay this on you.

Yeah, it's all right.
Desperate times and all that.

Shall we say no more about it?

- Especially to himself.
- Right.

Listen, the least I can do
is give you a proper drink.

- You look like you could do with one.
- No, no. Not for me, thanks.

Don't play the Boy Scout.

Got a lovely drop of Irish whiskey
in there. Come on.

Can we delay?
Like, for an hour or so?

No.

Ash, please, listen. I just need...

I don't know what's gotten into you,
but there is no chance of a delay, Lee.

We're here. We're in place.

Please, Ash.
Look, I can't go into it now.

But we might have to delay
until I can get under...

...ground.

I would normally join you,
but I'm under orders.

You know, doctor's.
And Gubby's. Have to cut back.

Dermot, I can't see that
helping anything.

Although
I'm sure a drop wouldn't hurt.

Oh, yeah, that's more like it.

Could I get some water in there?

And here's me thinking these English
boys weren't sophisticated, huh?

There you go.

Don't just stare at it.

Could I...
Could I use your bathroom?

- Yes, sure. It's second on your right.
- Thanks.

f*ck you, Dermot!

Daniel?

Get the van.
Let's get the hell out of here.

- What? What is it?
- It's the whole body.

Oi!

What the f*ck's this?

What do you think
you're taking me for?

What's wrong with him?
What's he doing?

Don't worry about it.

First glance, how was I supposed to
know it didn't match the description?

- I shouldn't even f*cking be here.
- Excuse me?

Have you any idea
whose toes you're dancing on?

'Cause let me
tell you something.

You're f*cked.

We've called you a duty solicitor.

If you feel more comfortable
once they've arrived,

I'd love to hear something
more meaningful from you, Eve.

Cup of tea, Len?

Oh, lovely, yeah.

Make us both a cup
while you're up there, would ya?

Rob was onto something.

Something going on
under Temple Station.

Lo and behold,
you work for the f*cking tunnels,

so I know that you know something.

Tell me.

Things I know about you, Eve.

Got a folder full of you here.

Attacked another girl
at uni last semester, right?

Now, I bet I can get the judge
to take that into account.

You don't know anything
about me.

I've got nothing to say to you.

Well, top marks for spirit,
but we're in here all alone.

And I'm getting it out of you
one way or the other.

Is that a threat?

You're going to prison.

A woman twice your age and twice your
size is going to own every inch of you

and it's going to be freaking horrible.

How long would you like me
to send you there for?

Just where is the freaking body?

You're struggling. Do you want me
to push you in a warmer direction?

I swear I can't

because you've hit me up
with enough ketamine buckle a yak.

Use your words, then, Dermot!

He's not just gonna
come for you, you know.

Lee?

All right, talk me through
your plan again.

I hand myself in to the police,
they run tests on the body

and conclude Eve didn't k*ll him.

So first we go to the bunker.

"Bunker"? What do you mean
by "bunker"?

They'll have to run ballistics, won't
they? From where the shot was fired.

All right, so, hang on, are you...

Are you seriously saying you might
have to give up the freaking bunker?

What's that mean for me?

What are you doing?
Come on, we need to keep moving.

Not that, Daniel.

- What would that mean for me?
- What do you expect?

There's no cunning plan here. We just
have to give them what they want.

We?

-Lee, please.
-You begged me.

Yeah? I didn't realize that meant helping
you dig my own f*cking grave.

Do you realize what they'll throw at me
for the stuff we've done in there?

Have you given that
even a bloody second?

One word from you and here I am.
Yes, sir, no, sir, like some bloody mug.

- I'm taking the van.
- No.

So best of luck to you, mate.

- You're gonna need it.
- No, you can't leave me like this.

Where are you going?

I told you I had somewhere else
I had to be.

Jesus Christ!
I must have told you a hundred times!

But you don't hear it
because you basically don't care.

You're happy if it gets me k*lled
if it suits your end,

so when am I gonna learn that lesson?

Lee, this isn't important.
This is about Eve.

It's not, though, is it, about Eve?

It's you.

It's always you,
you selfish f*cking prick!

When Gubby cottons on
to what you're up to,

he's gonna come at you
with everything he's got.

Yes?

- Gubby, It's me. I'm taking the body.
- Is that right?

I'm going ahead with that thing I told you
I was going ahead with.

You've left me no choice.

You've got some ba*ls on you.

You're dead.

- Ok, let's discuss the matter at hand.
- There's nothing to discuss.

Why don't we go over
your options first, Daniel?

What options?

Oh, God.

Hello.

Promise me
you're not gonna freak out, okay?

What's the matter?
Is everything okay?

- Yeah, no. I'm gonna work with Beth.
- What?

She asked me to join her team.

Now, look, I know it's weird because
of us, but I really feel that...

It's everything you want.

Well, it's almost
everything I want.

How was your day? Like, did everything
go okay with... You know?

- Daniel?
- I love you, Anna.

I love you, too.

Can you just come and see me tonight?
It doesn't matter what time it is.

I just really wanna see you.

My cab's here, sorry.I'll talk to
you later, okay?Bye, bye, bye.

The bottlenose whale
that was trapped in the Thames

seems to have disappeared.

Marine experts fear the whale may have
drowned in the tidal estuary,

a valiant fight that makes
its final surrender

to the murky undercurrents
of London all the more...

Hey, Siri.

Call Beth.

So have you spoken to her?

- I... I haven't had a chance.
- Oh, God!

How? How, Daniel?
How are you gonna fix this?

I need you to go
to the police station now.

In what world do you think you still get
to ask me for anything?

Tell her to lead them
to me in the bunker.

I'll meet them.
I'll put things right from there.

No, you're playing games again.

No games.

Well, then, walk in there
right now and confess.

I can't. I... I need to clear things up
first before they get...

Oh, Jesus! You're unbelievable.
And whose freaking car is this?

Oh, Jesus!
Beth, I'm trying to do the right thing.

What, a dead f*cking policeman?

I don't care.

I don't care to hear anything
you have to say in your own interest.

From now on, what happens to you
is no concern of mine.

One of us has to look after
our daughter.

So will you do it, please?

For Eve.

Oh, God, I can't believe
I wasted 25 years on you.

Look, you need to call this, Ash.
Are we doing it?

Well, we aren't.

I can't believe
that he's bloody done this to us.

Why isn't he down there?

Oh, come on.

Red, blue...

Red.

I think we have to call it
for what it is, guys.

Get the drone.
Get the freaking drone.

Look at me, Eve.
Look at me.

You need to think about yourself here,
no one else, do you understand me?

Eve, it's time to come clean
about your father.

You have to show them
to the bunker.

Let's go, let's go. Come on.
On your checks.

We bring you breaking news.

We just received
this drone footage

sent to usby a climate change
activist group

who have brought inner London
to a grinding standstill

by changing traffic lights to red,
causing total disruption.

This radical action

is the latest in a series of
coordinated events across London...

Lee?
What the hell are you doing here?

Clear.

In here!

London Police.
Don't move.

Hands in the air.
Let me see your hands.

Keep 'em steady.

Dr. Milton.

- Eve has nothing to do with any of this.
- Where's Sergeant Moloney?

- First, I want to hear you acknowledge...
- This isn't a freaking dialogue, sir.

Where's Rob?

He's through there.

You two, over there.

I'll show you.

I don't know how he found this place.

After he got in, I locked him in here,

but he tried to sh**t his way out
through the door

and the ricochet caught him in the head.

Move.

I know this sounds crazy, but I...

I set all of this up
to try and save my wife.

He's telling the truth.

I had Lancasters.

This whole place
served as the clinic.

In order to pay for the cost
of her treatment, I...

I operated on people down here.

- What people?
- Well, criminals. Mainly criminals.

But ordinary people as well.
People suffering from Lancasters.

So, who helped you?

What do you mean?

What I mean is, why don't you talk to me
about Lee Simmons and Jamie Harris.

Lee Simmons
was a patient of mine.

He seemed to know a lot
about underground London.

He told me about spaces like this.

That's as far as my contact
ever went with him.

I don't know what he's doing now.

Jamie Harris was my first
unofficial patient.

He'd been shot.

Should we take him up
to the van now, ma'am?

Yeah, take him.

Get him out of my sight.

Move it.

How far does this tunnel extend
each direction?

Pretty far.

I'll maybe take a recce that way
for any surprises.

That's quite a show
you put on.

You think you can just
go around sh**ting police?

He was my friend.

And you k*lled him.

- I didn't k*ll him.
- Bullshit!

I'm telling the truth.

I wouldn't want to be you.

You are gonna have a really hard time
where you...

He's got a g*n!

- Come on!
- Shots fired! Shots fired!

- What the f*ck happened?
- He was going for a g*n.

I had to take him down,
I had no choice.

Get in there and find his body.

It's okay.

Finally!

We did it, Lee.
We did it!

- We were all over the news!
- Ash...

Daniel's dead.

Who?

Lee.
Jesus, what happened?

They've k*lled him!

- Wait, what? Who?
- Daniel.

Can you get a message
to my daughter?

Absolutely not!

You don't exist.

You don't complain. No games.
No complications.

From here on in,
all you do is work for me.

I thought this was a partnership.

Well, that's a nice thought.

Try and look at it
in the positive, Daniel.

Your life just went from very complicated
to nice and simple.

Oh, cheer up, then, shall I?

Come along, Officer.
